Diddy is the daddy

Hip hop star P Diddy – Sean Combs to his mother – has become a parent for the fifth time, after a DNA test confirmed that he was the father of a 15-month-old girl.

The rapper, producer and designer has promised that he will take care of the little girl, named Chance, “for the rest of her life”, now that he knows she is his.

It’s a wonder Diddy manages to find time to do anything other than be a dad these days – he has a 13-year-old son, Justin, with ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim, an eight-year-old son Christian and twin girls Jessie James and D’Lila Star, born in December with his on-off partner Kim Porter and has also acted as a father-figure to Quincy, Porter’s son from a previous relationship.

Diddy is said to have initially denied that he was Chance’s father, until her mother, Sarah Chapman, with whom he had an affair while with Porter, pushed for a paternity test.

He is said to have embraced the new addition to his family, telling the New York Daily News that he is “committed to being a good father” to the little girl.
